    I use Green Flag as it's linked with my insurance. Never had any problems with them when I have had to use them. Plus they use Roys Autos at Mapplewell as a local garage which is ideal for a quick response.

    When is your insurance due?

    One or two companies throw this in (or provide it heavily discounted) when you purchase your car insurance. IIRC, its about £80 with Privilege - as opposed to £150 with the AA - a complete rip-off.

    What sort of service do you need? How reliable is you car?

    I can't remember the last time I had to call the emergency services out....

    The trouble with Green Flag is, you could end up with a reight set of numpties as they use a network of local garages. They sent Paragon out to us once and despite being told that we had broken down off road, they sent out a massive truck that couldn't get to us. Just stood scratching his head while the local farmer extracted us!
